These tires have a very nice thread design that looks like it would be excellent in rain or wet conditions. I may have to take a harder look at these if I decide to go non runflat again.
Thanks

Michelin Pilot Super Sports in stock Z06 size.

I carry a tire plug kit and a small compressor in the rear cubby.

They completely transformed the car.

Yes, please take a HARD look at these tires (Kumho Ecsta SPT's). They are half the price of most of those others and give an EXCELLENT, QUIET ride. Do yourself a big favor and just look at the reviews, especially on Vettes.

Kumho 710s at 305x30x18-F and 335x35x17-R. They stick real good.

Firestone Wide Oval RFT. 20K miles and plenty of tread left. Normal driving style, but rears do slip now and then.
